I really did not think this would gain this much steam when I first typed it out in a total haze of frustration. It is honestly wild to see how many people are feeling the exact same way about these bylaws because it feels like we might actually have a shot at getting someone to listen now.

The board needs to listen to the actual members for once. Very frustrating.
Leave it alone. The social members have rights too and this is just gonna ruin the vibe of the club.
Completely unfair to the people who already paid their fees. Need more transparency from the board on why this is even on the table.
Seriously? Keep the bylaws as they are. Dont fix what aint broken.
This is ridiculous. We bought into this community based on the current rules. Stop changing the goalposts.
